Troxy is a Grade II-listed Art Deco music venue on Commercial Road in Stepney, London.

Opened in 1933 on the site of an old brewery, Troxy cost £250,000 to build and when it first showed films had a capacity of 3,520, making it the largest cinema in England at that time.

[3][4] Inside the building the cinema had luxurious seating, a revolving stage, mirror-lined restaurants and customers were served by staff wearing evening dress.

The cinema showed all the latest major releases and had a floodlit organ which rose from the orchestra pit during the interval, playing popular tunes.

The damage inflicted on the East End of London by the Blitz in World War II and the clearance of local slums robbed Troxy of much of its original audience as the giant cinema closed in 1960, with the last film shown on 19 November that year, featuring Donald Sinden in The Siege of Sidney Street.

The team made changes to the internal and basement areas of Troxy, creating multiple rooms for the orchestras to use as well as the stage.

In 2013 it hosted the NME Awards, with the magazine's editor Mike Williams describing the Troxy as one of London's "oldest, coolest and most iconic venues".

Since it reopened, Troxy has held concerts by bands such as the Jesus and Mary Chain, Flying Lotus, Jarvis Cocker, Beady Eye, Garbage,[11] Morrissey, Doves, Pixies, City and Colour,[12] Stereophonics,[13] Patti Smith,[14] Siouxsie,[15] and The Cure.

[16] The current owners have invested heavily in restoring the venue as much as possible to its original glory while making it suitable for modern audiences.

[17] In 2009, Troxy screened its first film for more than 50 years, showing Secret Cinema's Bugsy Malone, complete with live music and custard pie fights.

[21] As well as a TV audience of 2.35 million, the BRITS Icon event raised Troxy's profile in the UK music media.

Troxy is close to Limehouse station which is served by Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and National Rail services.
